[0035] Related explanation:

[0036] Electrical slip ring: a device that transmits power, electrical energy and signals from a fixed device to a rotating device.

[0037] The core of the utility model is to disclose an electrical slip ring detection device to improve the detection efficiency of the dynamic resistance of the electrical slip ring.

[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] The embodiment of the utility model discloses an electrical slip ring detection device, which includes a drive component, a relay component 30, a resistance measuring device 40, a control component and a data analysis component.

[0040] It should be noted that the electrical slip ring 10 includes a rotor and a stator. In actual operation, the rotor is in a rotating state and the stator is in a stationary state. The electrical slip ring 10 includes N channels, where N is a positive integer.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the driving component is connected to the electrical slip ring 10 in a transmission manner to drive the electrical slip ring 10 to rotate, simulating the working state of the electrical slip ring 10 during actual operation. The electrical slip ring 10, the relay component 30 and the resistance measuring device 40 are connected in series and parallel through wires to form a closed loop. The relay component 30 is electrically connected to the control component. The control component realizes the conduction of each channel with the resistance measuring device 40 by controlling the opening and closing of the relay component 30 to form the switching of the detection circuit of N channels. Specifically, it can be done by timed switching or other switching methods. The data analysis component receives the dynamic resistance data measured by the resistance measuring device 40 and performs corresponding analysis. It can predict the service life of the electrical slip ring 10 and achieve the purpose of preventive maintenance. The data analysis component is preferably a computer with a built-in data analysis program in the computer. Figure 5 Schematic diagram of data analysis by data analysis components.

[0042] During actual detection, the control component controls the opening and closing of the relay component 30 to connect each channel to the resistance measuring device 40, forming detection loops for each of the N channels to measure the dynamic resistance of each channel.

[0043] The electrical slip ring detection device disclosed in the embodiment of the present utility model is simple to operate, stable and reliable, can simulate the normal operating state of the electrical slip ring, and can meet the requirements of dynamic resistance testing of more than 10 channels of the electrical slip ring. The control component and the relay component 30 cooperate to realize automatic switching of the detection circuits of N channels, realize automation of the measurement process, improve detection efficiency, realize rapid testing of the dynamic resistance of multiple channels of the electrical slip ring, reduce labor intensity, and reduce measurement errors caused by manual measurement.

[0044] The electrical slip ring detection device disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention can be applied to wind turbine pitch control systems, as well as other scenarios requiring dynamic resistance measurement of electrical slip rings 10. The data analysis component can analyze a large amount of test data from various types of electrical slip rings 10 to identify the slip ring most suitable for a specific site, thereby improving equipment reliability and reducing unit failure rates.

[0045] In order to ensure the stability and reliability of the electrical slip ring measuring device, in some specific embodiments, the relay assembly 30 includes a first relay unit 31 and a second relay unit 32, the first relay unit 31 includes m first relays, and the second relay unit 32 includes n second relays. The control component controls the i-th (i≤m) first relay in the first relay unit 31 and the j-th (j≤n) second relay in the second relay unit 32 to be connected in series, and the remaining first relays and second relays are disconnected, so that each channel is connected in series with the resistance measuring device 40, respectively, to form a detection loop for each of the N channels.

[0046] To reduce the complexity of the electrical slip ring detection system, each first relay includes a contacts, where the product of a and n equals N (the number of channels). Each contact is connected to the corresponding channel via a wire, forming a switching circuit for each of the N channels. That is, one contact is connected in series with one channel, and one contact corresponds to the detection circuit for each channel. The bth contact of each first relay is short-circuited to form the bth short-circuit point (b ≤ a), and the bth second relay is connected in series with the corresponding bth short-circuit point. The first relays are short-circuited together to form a first test point 100, and the second relays are short-circuited together to form a second test point 200. The input of the resistance measuring device 40 is connected to the first test point 100 and the second test point 200, respectively. The output of the resistance measuring device 40 is connected to the control component.

[0047] like Figure 2As shown in the figure, an electrical slip ring 10 including 21 channels is used for illustration, wherein the first relay unit 31 includes 7 first relays, namely K11, K12, K13, K14, K15, K16, and K17, and the second relay unit 32 includes 3 second relays, namely K21, K22, and K23. Each first relay includes three contacts, and the first contacts of the seven first relays are respectively short-circuited to form a first short-circuit point, the second contacts are respectively short-circuited to form a second short-circuit point, and the third contacts are respectively short-circuited to form a third short-circuit point. K21 is connected to the first short-circuit point, K22 is connected to the second short-circuit point, and K23 is connected to the third short-circuit point.

[0048] During use, when the control component controls K11 and K21 to close, the remaining first relays and second relays are disconnected. At this time, the first channel is connected to the resistance measuring device 40 to form a detection loop for the first channel, and the dynamic resistance of the first channel is measured by the resistance measuring device 40; when the control component makes K11 and K22 closed, the remaining first relays and second relays are disconnected. At this time, the second channel is connected to the resistance measuring device 40 to form a detection loop for the second channel, and the resistance measuring device 40 measures the dynamic resistance of the second channel; when the control component makes K11 and K23 closed, the remaining first relays and second relays are disconnected. At this time, the third channel is connected to the resistance measuring device 40 to form a detection loop for the third channel, and the resistance measuring device 40 measures the dynamic resistance of the third channel; the dynamic resistance measurement principle of the remaining channels is the same as above and will not be repeated here. Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the relay output circuit and input signal.

The second pulley drives the drive shaft to rotate, and the drive shaft drives the electrical slip ring 10 to rotate. Specifically, the drive shaft is connected to the electrical slip ring 10 through a connector. In some specific embodiments, the connector is a bent piece, which is respectively connected to the electrical slip ring 10 and the drive shaft.
